THE IDIOLECT OF REVEREND ECONOMOS DIMITAR POPNIKOLOV PETKANOV
Get PDFA less studied talented author and brother of the popular fiction writer Konstantin Petkanov, priest
Dimitar wrote in the 1950s. This publication analyzes several parameters of his idiolect: phonetic peculiarities (reflex of ѣ, ѫ,
ъ; epenthetic [l]; reflexes of the [tʃ] [dʒ] groups; phonetic dialectisms; phonetic doublets); morphological paradigm (case
inflections; noun form for number; dualis; nomina collectiva; extended Church Slavonic suffix for adjectives; dialectal and
contracted pronoun forms; a temporal system characterized by high frequency of the verbs in terms of origin, distribution and
stylistic differentiation); lexical specifics (in terms of origin, distribution and stylistic differentiation). Emphasis is placed on
those lexical layers that constitute and ditinguish the author’s language. Hapaxes (produced using morphological and non-
morphological methods), rare words, semantic transponents, dialectisms, colloquial vocabulary and foreign words are studied.
All linguistic phenomena are examined retrospectively and in comparison with the synchronous linguistic situation before and
after the orthographic reform of 1945 in order to highlight the innovative contribution and the mechanisms through which the
author enriched the contemporary Bulgarian vocabulary. Occasionalisms, dialectal and archaic units occur more often in
Petkanov’s poetic works than in his fiction. The source material has been excerpted from Volume 1 (January – March) and
Volume 2 (April – June) of the hagiographic tetralogy “The Year of Our Lord“ and the memoir “A Book about My Brother –
the Writer Konstantin N. Petkanov“, which were published a few years ago by Dimitar Petkanov’s heirs
Imperium Militiae(I)
No full textThe most common idea in Romance studies is that Romans, as practical people, didn’t conduct theoretical research on their country or their army, but they gradually built them both. Meanwhile, they reformed and upgraded it, so that they could respond to the challenges of their age. Moreover, the basis of their research was not explicit doctrines, or prior concepts, in fact they used their own, or the experience of others, to find concrete solutions to daily problems. Just as the Hellenic romanophile Polibius (200-120 B.C), in his work Historia, asks the crucial question: ”Is it possible to have such an unreliable man who is not interested in how the Romans, with their unicipal structure, managed to conquer the whole world”? - in the same way the author of this paper, as much as its content allows, humbly and unpretentiously tries to answer the crucial question: “What kind of military structure
created and defended one of the biggest and most enduring empires in world’s history, and what rules governed it”
Cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage from intracranial aneurysm rupture in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. A retrospective review from two Bulgarian hospitals
No full textAbstractIntracranial aneurysms are acquired lesions resulting from hemodynamic stress on the vascular wall. Their rupture usually presents as a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with a high mortality rate. Cerebral vasospasm follows, which leads in many cases to delayed brain ischemia and even death. We aimed to explore the relationship between cerebral perfusion and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in aneurysmal SAH. We analyzed 42 cases that underwent treatment for proven SAH due to ruptured cerebral aneurysms between January 2020 and December 2021. The patients were treated adhering to a standard protocol. The cerebral vasospasm was assessed by measuring the difference in the mean arterial pressure of the carotid artery relative to the internal cerebral artery (Lindegaard’s ratio) by transcranial Doppler ultrasound for 12 consecutive days. Twenty-three patients showed no signs of an acute respiratory syndrome associated with COVID-19 but tested positive for the SARS-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The control group included 19 SARS-CoV-2 negative cases. The mean age was 59.7 ± 8.4 years (range 44-72), with 29 males and 13 females. The mean arterial pressure was without a significant difference of 89.3 ± 3.3 to 89.7 ± 3.7 mmHg in SARS-CoV-2 negative to positive patients. When viral infection was evident, we observed a higher Lindegaard’s ratio of 2.12 ± 0.36 than the control, with a value of 1.43 ± 0.33 (p < 0.01). Thus, brain perfusion was 32.5% better in negative patients. We suggest that SARS-CoV-2 positive patients, without acute COVID-19, are more likely to have worse brain perfusion after SAH from cerebral aneurysm rupture
THE AUTHOR IS ABSENT: TOWARD EMERGENT NARRATIVE EVENT ENVIRONMENTS
Get PDFCreating an emergent narrative or one which is not predetermined by the controlling figure of the game designer, but instead frees the audience to guide and control the story has been a major interest in the field game design studies of virtual world storytelling. “The Author Is Absent” is an art project that interprets an emergent narrative problem through the prism of performance arts, and mainly the happenings of Alan Kaprow. The following paper provides a theoretical groundwork and some historical examples of previous attempts in the same tradition. It then goes on to elucidate the formal aspects of the work, its mechanics and the results of several attempts at creating an emergent narrative. It traces the creative process that led to the creation of two events – “A Scene about a Drug Deal Gone Wrong” and “The Best Goddamn Art SIU Has to Offer”. Both of them were attempts at creating an environment that could serve as a framework in which an emergent narrative can occur in the interaction between performers and audience. It evaluates the end result of these events and proposes further steps that can be taken towards perfecting the form
“THE LONELY SOLDIER OF PREVENTION” (for the book “Enlightenment and Health” and its author)
Get PDFPresented are articles written in the 1920s and 1930s of the twentieth century, printed in periodic scientific and popular publications (newspapers and medical journals) by Dr. Dimitar Goshev, collected and published in a stand-alone book "Enlightenment and Health" in 2019. Doctor Goshev (1899-1982) studied medicine in Vienna, where he graduated in 1926 and dedicated his life to preventive medicine in the era of dramatic events for the Bulgarian healthcare system
Стенописите в храма "Св. св. Константин и Елена" на село Кръстилци
Get PDFThe article examines the frescoes in the Church of Sts. Constantine and Helen in Krastiltsi, Sandanski. The painter who executed the pictorial decoration was not known. The author of the article makes a well-founded assumption that the mural decoration in the temple is the work of Dimitar Sirleshtov, a painter from Bansko, student of another painter from Bansko – Mihalko Golev. The article describes and analyses the iconographic programme, as this is the first comprehensive publication of this ensemble. There is a special emphasis in the text on the iconography of the individual tortures of sinners and on a rarely seen scene of a morally instructive nature. The article also analyses the stylistic features that are characteristic of the painter Dimitar Sirleshtov
